And the best freshwater fishing I've had in my life was in Lake Erie during the years when Time magazine declared it a "dead lake".

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

The U.S.S.R. used to have a body of water large enough to be called a sea. An inland sea. The Aral sea, since dried up through mismanagement. Isn't central planning wonderful ?

The good about the Soviet Union?  It's in the dust bin of history, and there is one man to thank for that.

I disagree, Two men and a very strong woman.

3. One thing that doesn't make sense

is if communism is so ineffective as the Right says, why was the Soviet Union a super power and rival to the U.S. at all?

There's only one reason, DUmbShit, the state controlled everything. all the working class people were dirt poor because the state confiscated all the wealth. That way they could pay spies in the US to steal our technology. They never could keep up with us anyway, ignoramus! We finally broke 'em because they could no longer afford it!

Besides, if it was so great as you say, why the hell did it collapse into capitalism??? Tell me somethin'' TavernTurd, Compare today and the previous communistic regime, is the workin' class' lifestyle better or worse?

You really are an ignorant DUmbass, aren't ya!

There was an old saying..."Communism is great..if you're one of the ones that have a dacha by the lake".

The DUmmies think THEY would be the ones with the dachas...they don't realize that they would be the ones buried in lime deep in the forest.

Better chance they would be sent to our Siberia up in Alaska, close to the Arctic Circle!
I'm the guy your mother warned you about!

Oh this is ****ing rich!

One minute their happily fapping over fond memories of the USSR and the tyranny it imposed by force of arms over Eastern Europe and in the next thread they're rewriting history to make Soviet client states into RW icons:

Romanian orphans
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_orphans

The standard of living for Romanian orphans is still grave despite vast improvements since their conditions were leaked to the West after the fall of the Communist government in 1989. A news report on the American newsmagazine 20/20, which first aired on October 5, 1990, was the first to show the conditions in full detail on television.

Under Nicolae CeauÅŸescu, both abortion and contraception were forbidden, leading to a rise in birth rates. This resulted in many children being abandoned and these were joined in the orphanages by disabled and mentally ill people. Together these vulnerable groups were subjected to institutionalised neglect and abuse, including physical and sexual abuse and use of drugs to control behaviour.

Don't these fools ever learn?

More recently they killed a crapload of muzzies.

The Nazis actually did a lot better job of killing Russians than vise-versa, there were just about ten times more Russians than Nazis.  They did manage a better return on effort against Chechen muzzies, not so well against the Afghans but then again we were helping the Afghans by feeding them Stingers to suppress the Soviet air support.

That's also very true, and just about the only point one can find in favor of the Nazis.

The enormous, horrendously bloody battles of the Barbarossa campaign, in retrospect, were win-win for the civilized world.

DUmmies like Russia because there you got a roof over your head and four walls for free....no heat, no hot water and sometimes no water at all but it was free. Sounds more like the homeless living in abandoned buildings in Detroit to me...but it's free.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Only if you know its value to begin with.  DUmmies, as usual, have no clue.

Liberals are like Slinkys.  Basically useless, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...
